MORNING'S GOLDEN GLOW UPON THE LAND

Sorry about the black and white borders partially around my photos below.....I think the Sanderson format I inserted had something to do with that

Sunlight beaming through our pine trees this morning went a long way in perking up my spirits.  Pheebs and I slipped out the door and headed east directly into the Sun.  No destination in mind but we did find ourselves in the Hullett Marsh before too long.  Nice to see and hear some birdlife and no hunter's guns.  Beautiful sunny morning with no wind as we took ourselves for a walk alongside Whistler Pool.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE AREAS IN THE MARSH
MORNING MIST
Autumn colors are still peeking and our countryside is ablaze with pastels and hues of gold and crimson.  Burgundies, yellows, greens, and rustic browns were etched everywhere against our deep blue crisp October sky.  It is the serene but unsettling calm before the coming winter storms.

Pheebs and I took the Winnie-Spirit for a run over to Clinton and back today.  I wanted to give the black tank one more good flush before winter so had added a couple buckets of water with a mild cleaning solution to give it a good slosh on the way there.  Gas gauge was down to a quarter so I put in $100 and that brought the gauge up to three-quarters.  That should be enough to get us to the border if they ever open it again someday.  We are trying to remain as cautiously optimistic about our chances of traveling south again at some point.

FARMERS ARE WORKING ON THE CORN HARVEST NOW

Well here we are almost into the final week of October.  Eighteen years ago at this time Kelly and I were in a very excited state of mind.  We were in the final weeks of moving from the Weenie Roast Ranch near Fullarton Ontario to our digs here at the Five Seasons just outside of Bayfield.  Although still living in the old farmhouse we already had a few pieces of furniture moved into our new to us place and I had already begun digging in our center flower bed out front.  We were able to do these things because nobody was living in the unit.  In fact, nobody had lived in it for the previous 3 years.  Yes exciting times indeed back then and we finally moved in lock, stock, and barrel on Halloween night of 2002.  And we did the whole move ourselves:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front of you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!
